Daily Driving A EV6 GT! (As A Petrol Car Owner) - Range Anxiety? Charging Problems?

How easy is it to daily drive a performance electric vehicle? The answer is pretty easy! (if you have a charger at home haha)
When my boss told me he was going away for vacation and I could drive his car, I was super excited! 576 Horsepower & 545lb-ft of torque sounded like my kind of party! However, with great power comes great responsibility (and energy consumption) 🪫
While most of my worries stemmed from range anxiety, I was able to make it work!
Join me on my weekend journey with the Ev6 GT !

Nice change up. Gabi is perfect! More videos like this please 😊

[@BrantfordKia]

Thank you! We will try to do more like this!

[@jeffbeverly]

just bought my ev6 yesterday. This channel has been incredibly helpful! thank you

[@BrantfordKia]

Thank you so much for watching our channel & Congratulations on your new ride! The EV6 is amazing

[@soundtreks]

Congrats! Kia Forte Ex owner here but I have my eye on the EV6 whenever it comes time to trade up. :)

[@jeffbeverly]

@@soundtreks Day one with it has been a lot of fun, traded in my 2015 volt and feel pretty good about this choice

[@MG-._]

KIA Hyundai channel has done it all for car content. love this channel forever 😄🖤❤🖤 BTW, the vlog is amazing Gabi. I'd love to see more vlogs like this 🥰

[@BrantfordKia]

Thank you for the feedback, I think we’ll start to add more vlog style videos to our channel!

[@yourspineandbrain4805]

Finally! New content! Love this. Keep these vids coming Gabby

[@soundtreks]

Love the channel and your videos. You know a lot about these vehicles and you have a great screen presence. Keep up the great work. I personally would have left a not so nice note on that truck who parked in the recharge spot. You are a better person than I.

[@jamespaul2587]

Thanks for another amazing video Gabi (and Julia), this was really fun! Maybe Pat will authorize a track day for this car, it's hard to appreciate that level of performance safely (and legally) on public roads. Hopefully you and your bf are feeling better soon.

[@BrantfordKia]

Thanks for watching! A track day would be very cool!

Nice to see you believe in the brand and drive your own product. I thought you didn't mention it at the start because you were worried about admitting a different brand.

In the late summer-autumn, a competitor to the Kia EV6 GT AWD (586hp)-model should also be coming to the market, i.e. the 600 or more than 600 (610-620hp) horsepower Hyundai Ioniq 5 N High-Performance AWD EV -model. 😎

[@dadel2095]

Does it come in different specs depending on what market your in? Here in Sweden the range is 424km. I expect to get atleast 400km out of it during summer (uninspired driving). I love the seats. Would have been nice with electric seats but atleast I don't have stupid headrest that pushes your head forward. 😅

What engine oil do y’all use at the dealership for Service ?

[@marcs6223]

I have a 2 1/2 yr old 2020 Kia Niro PHEV with 60k miles. I drive all over and yes a lot of times someone is blocking the spots. Or they may not be working, but more people blocking spots even other EVs(mostly Teslas) not charging. Its EV parking while charging not EV parking. But thankfully no range anxiety.

[@henrikhook.]

Gabi. -How many kilometers (battery 100% full) can be reached in (about minimum) and maximum with one charge?. 🤔

[@beardrn]

Can you customize a user mode and disable the rear motor? I wonder if using only the forward motor during daily drives will increase the range significantly?

[@BrantfordKia]

Actually eco mode disengages the front motor & solely uses the rear, this gives you the most efficient drive and range

[@GabisGarage]

We are vloggers now

[@josephlim8941]

I rented out a Kia Soul and became uncomfortable seating in a short time of driving local. My Porsche and previous Audi is always comfortable as well as supportive (with sports seats plus). Both local and long trips. I believe the latter companies design with ergonomics in mind. Especially Porsches who are known for over engineering.

[@khronin]

Basic kias do not have good seats--I have a Kona N and the seats are very comfortable and supportive--kia soul is their lowest end car and I would not judge by that--go rent a base corolla or any base car and the seats will be basic and not that supportive.

[@josephlim8941]

@@khronin I wouldn’t use Toyota as an example. I also owned a 2007 Prius which had basic seats and was very comfortable on long trips to US at time dollar was at par. It was our family car and only car. Put 100k kms on it before we sold it. I just bought a 2009 Prius as second car. Same seats. Porsche will become a classic and don’t want to rack up any more milage as a daily. 55k kms odometer.

[@redrock861]

I gave up an Audi A6 for a Cadenza, and my seats are great. Travelled across Canada and back driving 8 hours a day with almost no complaints (not seat related anyway).

[@NahidTube]

Hey the dock that you went to looks pretty cool. Where's it? Can you rent scooter there?

[@BrantfordKia]

It’s at Pier 8 in Hamilton Ontario! There are electric scooters available all over downtown hamilton

[@NahidTube]

@@BrantfordKia thank you. I've not explored Hamilton that much other than the beautiful falls. I'll give it a visit this summer

[@Meldonator]

we all wished for a night out with Gabbie and well... we aren't disappointed because we have a whole week! :3 :D It was indeed a really interesting video and it is adressing most of the worries people curious about EV have. can't wait for our next date, oops, I mean the next video :D (thx and kudos to BF, Pop, Julia and everyone who helped Gabbie on this one! :) )

[@fakumadda1632]

It would have been a shame if that Ram Truck had 4 flat tires when they came back. So inconvenient for them. Like the inconvenience of not being able to charge. I drive an F150 Lightning, so I would have just hooked on to the Ram and relocated it. These idiots have to learn.

[@gregc1463]

What did it cost to charge at the flo charger

[@BrantfordKia]

The set rate is $20 an hour, The EV6 was plugged in for 1.5Hrs and the bill came to $30.33! Total energy transferred was 67.6kWh!

[@BrianOlmsted]

@@BrantfordKia that must be a pretty slow charger. EV6 can do 10-80 in 18 minutes which should have been under $10 if they charge by the minute instead of hour but I don't think Flo chargers can do anywhere near the EV6 230-240KW All of these chargers should be charging per KW not per minute or hour

[@redrock861]

@@BrantfordKia so if I put $30 worth of fuel in my car at todays cartel level fuel prices, I only get 1/4 to 1/3 of a tank, what level of charge does 1.5 hours get an ev? Half capacity, hopefully more?

[@RigiLiquid945]

It's illegal to park in a charging station spot, even for an EV. You must be charging to park there.

[@stephenfurr8769]

The guy parked there on purpose! I have a big truck and it makes me just want to show them who’s boss and hook up to them and tow them out! They’re EV haters! They do that on purpose! Still deciding on the GT-Line or GT.

[@stevemay9749]

Sadly "Charger Blocking" is a thing!!

[@BrantfordKia]

I notice it happening all the time! Even when the rest of the parking lot is pretty available.

[@rogerthat24]

Yeah I'm sure that RAM driver ICE'd that intentionally. Classic black RAM driver.

[@BrantfordKia]

😬

[@maoinc13]

They do that because they hate electric cars , morons 🤬

[@milson4573]

Right? RAM… go figure

[@STEVE33437]

Until charging stations are in abundance it seems foolish to buy one!

EV's make total sense if you have a 240v outlet in your garage and drive less than 150 miles a day.
